As a second language English speaker this also confused me for so long. Eventually I decided it must be from the phrase "having cake" which also means eating the cake

Oh very nice to see a paper for this intuition, and the data could be very useful! Adding to the reading list 👀

Alignability is more predictive of cross-lingual transfer than divergence of literal token distributions, particularly for language pairs with disparate scripts.

Basically we argue that token overlap measures for predicting multilingual performance are too literal, and introduce the notion of **token alignability**, which can be measured via the scores of a statistical aligner over a corpus tokenised with a given tokenised.

Gotta say I'm not sure what pronunciation "luh-BOEV" is referring to but in my head it sounds like French beef

Germany. a) ground floor b) first floor. This matches how we count in German but the German terms basically treat the "upper floors" separately from the "ground floor"
